Tabitha had not been with me 48 hours when she figured out how to open the kitchen window and escape. Luckily, she didn't have time to go far before I noticed -- I was tipped off by the lack of purring and rubbing up against me -- and she came to me when I called. When I brought her back in, she was quite miffed to find the kitchen window firmly shut and latched. I'll have to put a bar or something to block the screen so that it can't be pushed open by little paws.

Aside from that, she's settled in quite nicely, shedding fur on EVERYTHING (of course, that's her job!), sitting on whatever it is I'm doing, demanding attention every thirty seconds, and generally being unbelievably cute. And furry.

Have I mentioned the fur?

My sewing machine and serger are set up; now all I need are storage bins for my (enormous quantities of) fabric, and I'm ready to roll. Also, by tomorrow evening I'll have a fridge, so I'll no longer have any excuse to not prepare my own meals.

I saw the new Indiana Jones movie today, and had to admit to my friends that I've never actually seen the original ones. I know Raiders of the Lost Ark because I had the book & record set (which I'd won at a balloon-popping game at a fair) when I was a kid, but that's all. I guess since it's such a part of popular culture, I don't actually need to see them do I? I think I will anyway, though.

It was funny how the three of us were the only ones laughing at some parts, and we were in the biggest showing room at Roppongi Hills.

Ah, only... 5 days until I get internet, if all goes well. I don't know what to do with all the free time I have, now! What did I do back before the intarwebs, anyway?!

All right, time to go home to the furball.
